In a 22 loaner 4S, interestingly this car had a feature I've never seen before. Appears to be intersection/cross traffic warning?

I have ACC as well as nearly all safety options specced on my car yet I've never seen this warning before. Occasionally when backing up I've seen the red arrows alerting rear traffic on the backup cam but never in the instrument cluster.

The loaner was running same software (latest) and both skmilarly equipped

If it's what I think it is, it's dependent on Remote Park Assist. Is that a possibility?

Really helpful feature, Assistance Systems must be enabled, and I discovered it works well at round abouts to alert of fast moving cars. Also shows alert with direction of detected cars on the PCM screen as well, in addition to the left tube. I have optioned InnoDrive, but I cannot find a reference anywhere that it is part of InnoDrive.

Must be part of innodrive... The loaner had it and my car didn't.

Could have swore I've seen a setting called intersection assist before but now I can't find it lol

Interesting. I have remote parking assist and do get the message for rear traffic when backing up. And I have PID by FOD. Functionality should be a little different than when purchased from factory and this is probably it. I don’t have thes notifications.

when I was speccing my GTS I saw that rear alerts come with comfort access. Really wanted that but didn’t want comfort access so didn’t get it.

Yes I think it is because it locks the doors when a car approaches from behind. It may need comfort acces functionality for that?

When a car / bicycle approaches closely and I try to open the door, the door handle is disengaged and doesn’t open the door and a red led shows near the door handle. When the car is passed the door can be opened.

this is more a side protect. It also adds rear and front crossing alert when coming out of a parking or street. That is probably what you wanted.

I have this feature, switched on, but it seems a bit haphazard and often too late for it to be useful.

I noticed it can "see" a car coming when you're next to an F-150 or something totally blocking your view. Very cool for some blind intersections here. I always have it on and it gives me a little peace of mind.
